I don't think it's as black and white as you're painting it. They're
looking at it as, "since when do we not have the right to say what
types of traffic we transmit across our own network."
Most people, I think, would agree that ISPs are not obligated to allow
known spam across. Where is the line? Is there really a line at all?
